For attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Thursday July Fourteenth 1932. Dear Sirs, Petrol Filters. We beg to acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of the 12th inst., and we full appreciate your requirements regarding the above and the necessity of keeping down as far as possible the quantity of petrol carried in the filter, and have put in hand a sample on the lines of your sketch which we will submit at the earliest possible moment. We are departing a little from your sketch as we have rather an elaborate tool layout on the filter plates, which as you know are constructed on a central spindle and carried on spokes, and we are anxious not to disturb this arrangement, but we think that the way we are carrying out the modification will meet your approval. Yours faithfully, BENTON & STONE LTD. [Signature] Director.
